One of the benefits of Discord is that it allows there to be rooms where folks can join and voice chat. You don’t need to call anyone and it operates like a virtual space where members can join and talk about the dhamma. I have been hosting Saturday night sangha meetings and there are also several forms where people can post. One of my favorites is for sharing wholesome thoughts to help remember to gladden the mind.

Here is a link to the Dhamma Friends discord if you are interested in an open space to share Dhamma.

I started practicing breath meditation 2019 going of a few YouTube videos. In 2020 my interest in Buddhism began to really develop as I was looking around several spiritual systems and continually coming back to the four noble truths and the noble 8 fold path. I was introduced to mastering the core teachings of Buddha through Frank Yang. With that got interested in the noting practice. Following a lot of Yuttadhammo bhikkhu videos and also reading Mahasi. My main practices for 2021 were noting, and Metta. I noticed quite a bit of benefit. In 2021 I became aware of Dhammarato after watching a few videos decided to try to practice anapanasati in this style and found freedom and success. I was satisfied, and didn't really see the need to call at the but start of 2022 and hearing all the talk of Sangha I decided to get involved. Joining the skype groups and discord has been of great benefit. Currently, I'm hosting a Saturday Sangha group voice chat on the discord. Glad a part of an open and wholesome community. This really works.

    I have only checked into a few of the Wed. sessions that D.J. has hosted, often along with Pietro and others. Having created social challenges for myself in the recent past 5 years, and well aware that recovery has not been instantaneous…I have been pleased and grateful that D.J. and Pietro have always warmly accepted my attempts to pay attention and listen, and the result has been more calm and a reorientation to Right practice. Often just knowing other sincere practitioners are practicing right now is a source of Sadha (Faith/Confidence in our ability to do the practice), Viriya (energy to practice), and is enough to create rapid and radical change in not only our ability to Concentrate or meditate but the ability to live our lives in a way that is wholesome.
